Surah “The Tidings, The Announcement”

What are they asking (one another)

About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.)

About which they are in disagreement

Nay, they will come to know

Nay, again, they will come to know

Have We not made the earth as a bed

And the mountains as pegs

And We have created you in pairs (male and female, tall and short, good and bad, etc.)

And have made your sleep as a thing for rest

And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness)

And have made the day for livelihood

And We have built above you seven strong (heavens)

And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun)

And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water

That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations

And gardens of thick growth

Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time

The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups)

And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates

And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage

Truly, Hell is a place of ambush

A dwelling place for the Taghoon (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.)

They will abide therein for ages

Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink

Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges

An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes)

For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning

But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely

And all things We have recorded in a Book

So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment

Verily, for the Muttaqoon, there will be a success (Paradise)

Gardens and grapeyards

And young full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age

And a full cup (of wine)

No Laghw (dirty, false, evil talk) shall they hear therein, nor lying

A reward from your Lord, an ample calculated gift (according to the best of their good deeds)

(From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and whatsoever is in between them, the Most Beneficent, none can dare to speak with Him (on the Day of Resurrection except after His Leave)

The Day that Ar-Rooh (Jibrael (Gabriel) or another angel) and the angels will stand forth in rows, none shall speak except him whom the Most Beneficent (Allah) allows, and he will speak what is right

That is without doubt the True Day, so, whosoever wills, let him seek a place with (or a way to) His Lord (by obeying Him in this worldly life)

Verily, We have warned you of a near torment, the Day when man will see that (the deeds) which his hands have sent forth, and the disbeliever will say: "Woe to me! Would that I were dust!"
